68 – The first prom in a year

Layla’s appearance has improved a lot since that day.

She’s still in her room studying all day, but when she has time, she comes out and helps with cleaning or cooking.

I was relieved by Lila’s usual lively appearance, and I was able to do my work comfortably.

I was still saddened by the absence of Euler, but I decided not to worry too much about it anymore.

“Rayman, Commander of the Guards! Back from vacation!”

And then, after a week’s vacation, Rayman returned to the mansion.

“Did you have a good rest?”

“Yes. Marquis.”

Raman didn’t use the title of young master anymore.

It was because I was blessed by Saint Iris and officially became the Marquess of the Violand family.

I wanted Layla to become a marquess, but Euler’s will chose me as his next successor, and I was forced to become a marquis.

But that doesn’t mean I have any particular complaints.

Lyla will let you know if I’m lacking anything, and if there’s anything I’m lacking in battle, Allin and Fenia are there.

In addition, Luna will be in charge of the mansion’s housework, and Rayman and other guards will also do the security.

Everybody could do their part without me interfering.

Rather, I have just become a marquis and I have to worry about myself, who has many things I don’t know.

“Has the wound healed?”

“Yes. Thanks to the potion the Marquis gave me, there are no aftereffects.”

“Really? I’m glad.”

Fortunately, the potion Fenia left behind worked well, fortunately there seemed to be no abnormality.

As I nodded in satisfaction, Rayman smiled slightly.

Did you get anything on your face?

“Why are you laughing? What did you put on my face?”

I asked while tilting my head, and Rayman answered with a light shake of his head.

“No. It seems I was worrying for nothing.”

Saying that, Rayman smiled again, and I laughed too.

“By the way, I heard you can use Auras?”

“Yes. Since that day, I have been able to use my aura, although it is still awkward.”

I took one look at Rayman standing in front of me.

The appearance didn’t feel much different from before, but the thick mana flowing around him made it possible to know how much Rayman had grown.

This was not the case in the original work.

Originally, Rayman, who would have been just an ordinary escort leader, is a sword expert who uses an aura.

Can’t you be a sword master later?

If this is done well, it seems that the Violand family’s advancement to the center may not be a dream.

“How do you usually train?”

“Light physical training and teaching the other guards how to use the sword once in a while is the end.”

“Hmm… ….”

At Rayman’s answer, I fell silent for a moment and thought about it.

Light physical training and sword instruction to the guards are the end….

To grow into a sword master, it was light training that I could do right now.

“From now on, it would be okay to sparring with Aline.”

“Are you talking about sparring with Aline?”

“Yes.”

“I know that Aline is good at swordsmanship, but… ….”

Raman is speechless.

She probably knows that Allin is good at swordsmanship, but she thinks that Allin, who cannot use her aura, can’t match her.

“Ha.”

I laughed involuntarily at Rayman’s answer, saying he didn’t know anything.

“Don’t worry about that. Rather, you should be more concerned about your body.”

“Yes? But isn’t Aline unable to use her aura?”

“What are you talking about? Who said our Aline couldn’t use her aura?”

“You mean Aline can use Auras too?”

“Yes. It was Aline who reached Sword Expert before you.”

Raman’s eyes widened, as if surprised that Allin was able to use the aura before him.

But soon, my eyes slowly settle.

“Definitely. He has unbelievable skills at his age.”

Rayman nodded her head in agreement, probably remembering Allin’s swordsmanship he had seen before.

“If you could ask Aline to do some sparring, she would be more than happy to listen.”

“Thank you. Then, starting tomorrow, we will fight together with Aline.”

“No. Tomorrow will be a bit difficult.”

“Yes?”

When she told Aline to go sparring but said no tomorrow, Rayman tilted her head.

And I spoke quickly so Rayman wouldn’t misunderstand.

“I’m sorry to anyone who just finished vacation, but I’m going to the ball in the center tomorrow. Of course, Rayman, you must follow me unconditionally.”

“Oh, is it that time already? Okay. Of course I will follow.”

I said it was a vacation, but to be precise, Rayman, who came back from rehab, showed no sign of dislike.

At first, he thought he was just an escort, but the more he got along with him, the more reassuring he became.

I really want to become a sword master with Aline.

While I was alone in my dreamy thoughts, I heard a clear voice from behind.

“Is this Captain Rayman?”

“Yes. That’s right. But what kind of person is the lady…… ?”

Raman asked cautiously as he saw Iris appearing from behind.

“Ah! My introduction is late. My name is Saint Iris of the Temple of Grace. I heard a lot about the Marquis.”

“Seo, the saintess?!”

“Yes.”

As Iris smiled flawlessly, Rayman hurriedly got her down on one knee.

“It is an honor to meet you, Lady!”

“Oops. Is Knight Rayman also a member of our temple?”

“Yes. My parents are also members of Grace Temple.”

“Nice to meet someone from the same temple. You can wake up comfortably.”

“Thank you. Holy Maiden.”

I looked at Rayman casually on his knees.

So Rayman was also a member of the Shrine of Grace.

I nodded my head with a slight interest in the setting I heard for the first time.

Coming to think of it, it wasn’t too surprising that Rayman was a saint of the temple.

In the first place, most people in this world believe in God and are members of the Grace Temple.

I heard recently that Luna also said that when she was a child, she worshiped at the temple with her parents.

“Then why did the saintess visit her mansion?”

“I visited a few days ago to give her blessing to the new head of the family.”

“I see.”

Rayman nodded her head in agreement, then she stopped nodding for a moment and looked at Iris with her questioning expression on her face.

“You visited a few days ago, have you not yet received that the word that you are still in the mansion is a blessing?”

“No. The blessing was already given two days ago.”

“But why… ….”

Rayman couldn’t finish his sentence and turned his head towards me.

He was telling me with his eyes why Iris didn’t go back to the temple.

I shrugged my shoulders lightly and opened my mouth.

“The saintess said that she would also participate in this ball.”

“I see. But can the saintess attend the ball? Surely the ball was only open to those who were officially invited?”

“Right. But have you forgotten where the ball is run?”

“Oh,”

You weren’t officially invited to the prom?

That ball was hosted by the Violand family, right?

At my answer, Rayman nodded his head as if he realized it only then.

“I’m planning to leave early tomorrow morning, so unpack and go to my room and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Okay. Marquis.”

It wasn’t a good idea to keep him standing up late at night, so I sent Rayman back to his room.

“Since the saintess has to get up early in the morning too, I think it would be best for her to go back to her bed.”

“Yes. I’ll finish cleaning the kitchen and go back to my room.”

“There is no need for the saintess to clean.”

“No. Right now, I’m staying at the mansion on my own. I think you should at least pay for the meal.”

Even so, it was quite heartbreaking to entrust her cleaning to her saintess.

But Iris’s unwillingness to disagree with her made me let her do her own thing.

“Sure. I’ll go into the room first. See you in the garden tomorrow morning.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work today.”

After saying hello to her briefly, I went into her room.

The time is late, reaching midnight.

If you plan to ride a carriage for a long time from tomorrow morning, you must get enough sleep.

But while I was at the prom, there was still a pile of things to do, so I stayed up all night focusing on my work until morning.

And time passed quickly, and the warm sunlight shone through the window.

When I looked up and checked the time, it was 7:50 in the morning.

The wagon departure time was 8:00, so there was plenty of time to prepare for departure.

“Is the time like this already?”

I put down what I was doing, changed into suitable clothes, and went straight to the garden.

And when I got on the carriage, it seemed like the others had already finished their preparations, and I was the last to arrive.

“Sorry for coming late.”

“You came on time, though. If he was sleeping, I was going to teleport himself to wake him up.”

After checking the time, Fenia let out a small laugh as she said that.

I also returned a small smile and closed the carriage door so that it could start.

Kung.

With the sound of a door closing, the coachman swung his whip, and with the sound of a horse neighing, the carriage began to move towards the ballroom.
